Support the LGBT Community with the HRC Buying Guide

Dec 5, 2010 Melanie Shearer

Support LGBT Equality - Microsoft Images

One of the easiest ways to support lesbian, gay,bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) individuals is to participate in events that bring awareness to the many obstacles that LGBT people face on a day to day basis. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is an organization that performs advocacy for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders. Each year the HRC rates businesses on workplace equality and how LGBTs are treated in their places of employment. At this time of year when many are choosing gifts for loved ones, why not try to purchase gifts from merchants who support LGBT employees and their families?

Gift Buying Guide

The HRC compiles the Holiday Buying for Workplace Equality Guide each year around the winter holidays. The Guide rates employers by using answers to survey questions that the businesses supply to the HRC. From these results, the rating system is broken down into three categories based on colors. Green businesses have the highest marks and are recommended by the HRC. Yellow businesses have taken action for LGBT equality in the workplace, but have not received the highest ratings due to continued work on improvements to LGBT equality. Red businesses are considered the least fair-minded of all workplaces. HRC recommends that buyers choose other merchants for their gift needs until red businesses improve the equality in their businesses.

Stores that Support LGBT

In 2010, the HRC has awarded several businesses with the Green rating. The ratings have been separated out by store type.

Apparel stores that scored highest ratings are Macy’s, J.C. Penney, and Sears. Most of these stores can be found at local malls in many areas of the country. They also have great online stores for convenience and to-your-door delivery.

If someone on your gift list has requested gadgets or techie items, HRC has given highest ratings to these merchants: Apply, AT&T, Dell, and IBM.

Sometimes a quick trip to the drug store is required for last minute gifts. These drug stores scored high on this year’s Buying Guide: CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.

Finally, making that holiday dinner will require a trip to the local grocery store. Choose grocers with high ratings from HRC such as Acme Markets, Save-a-lot, and Shop ‘n Save.

Why Buy from Businesses that Prohibit LGBT Discrimination

Supporting LGBT friendly businesses is an important way to encourage employers to strive for equality in the workplace. When you buy from vendors that support LGBT equality, you are doing your part to ensure that members of the LGBT community are treated fairly and with respect. For more information on equality initiatives and business that scored poorly on the equality in the workplace survey, visit the Human Rights Campaign website.

Used Car Buying Guide: The Best Transferable Factory Warranties

Nov 12, 2010 Candice Gillingwater

The Best New Car Warranties Are Transferable - Sammmm

After spending your hard-earned money on a used car, you don't want it to require major repairs soon after your purchase. Buying a reliable used car is a trickier process, however, than purchasing a reliable new car. In many cases, you know little or nothing about the previous owners and how the car was cared for. In this case, a transferable factory warranty serves as a safety net for both your wallet and your psyche.

Transferring a Factory Warranty From a Used Car

The good news about transferring your used car’s factory warranty if you buy from a dealership is that you usually don’t have to contact the manufacturer, fill out extensive paperwork or pay a transfer fee. Most car dealerships will take care of the necessary paperwork for your used car warranty transfer. Some manufacturers don’t even require a formal notification of the title transfer.

If you purchase a used vehicle from a private owner that still carries its factory warranty, make sure to verify that the warranty is fully transferable with the manufacturer before you purchase it. The used car’s manufacturer can provide you with any paperwork necessary to validate the transfer of the car’s warranty into your name.

Some Vehicle Warranties Are Only Partially Transferable

While most car companies offer extensive warranty protection that makes a full transfer from one buyer to the next, a few, such as Kia and Isuzu, reduce the warranty protection offered every time the vehicle changes hands. This offsets the amount of risk to the company.

When a used car is sold, it may travel across the country before it reaches the new buyer. This places the car in a different climate under new driving conditions. In addition, each individual has a different driving style and adheres to varying maintenance routines. All of these factors contribute to make repairs more common the more owners a vehicle has.

A partially transferable warranty doesn’t reduce the amount of protection you receive under the factory warranty. Rather, it reduces the years or mileage that the manufacturer will cover. For example, a vehicle manufacturer that offers 10 year/100,000 mile coverage on a car to the first owner may reduce that coverage to 5 years and 50,000 miles when the used car changes hands.

New Car Factory Warranty Terms By Manufacturer

The following warranty terms are offered on new vehicles by their manufacturers. With the exception of Pontiac, which was discontinued in 2008 but whose warranties are still valid, these warranties apply to 2010 and 2011 vehicles only. Because most new car warranties transfer in full to the second owner, this list should help you decide which cars carry the best factory warranties and are worth buying used and which you should pass over in favor of more comprehensive warranty protection.

• Acura: Basic – 4 yr./50,000 miles Powertrain – 6 yr./70,000 miles
• Audi: Basic and Powertrain – 4 yr./50,000 miles
• BMW: Basic and Powertrain – 4 yr./50,000 miles
• Buick: Basic – 4 yr./50,000 miles Powertrain – 5yr./100,000 miles
• Cadillac: Basic and Powertrain – 5yr./100,000 miles
• Chevrolet: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./100,000 miles
• Chrysler: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – Unlimited (2011 model only)
• Daewoo: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Dodge: Basic – 4 yr./50,000 miles Powertrain – 5yr./100,000 miles
• Ford: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Honda: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Hyundai: Basic – 5 yr./60,000 miles Powertrain – 10 yr./100,000 miles
• Infiniti: Basic – 4 yr./60,000 miles Powertrain – 6 yr./70,000
• Isuzu: Basic – 3 yr./50,000 miles Powertrain – 7 yr./75,000 miles
• Kia: Basic – 5 yr./50,000 miles Powertrain – 10 yr./100,000 miles
• Lexus: Basic – 4 yr./50,000 miles Powertrain – 6 yr./70,000 miles
• Lincoln: Basic – 4 yr./50,000 miles Powertrain – 6 yr./70,000 miles
• Mazda: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Mercedes: Basic and Powertrain – 4 yr./50,000 miles
• Mitsubishi: Basic and Powertrain – 5yr./60,000 miles
• Nissan: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Pontiac: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 10 yr./100,000
• Saab: Basic and Powertrain – 4 yr./50,000 miles
• Subaru: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Suzuki: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 7 yr./100,000 miles
• Toyota: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Volkswagen: Basic – 3 yr./36,000 miles Powertrain – 5 yr./60,000 miles
• Volvo: Basic and Powertrain – 4 yr./50,000 miles

The Downside of Factory Warranties

A factory warranty covers a vehicle’s parts if they fail under “normal” use. If the dealership has reason to believe that you may have placed additional strain on the vehicle, such as putting it through frequent street races, the manufacturer can refuse to cover the replacement of certain parts. Different manufacturers and dealerships are more forgiving than others on what constitutes normal wear and tear.

Extended Warranty Protection for Used Car Buyers

When you buy a car that still carries factory warranty protection, you have the comfort of knowing that you’re protected from the high cost of repairing parts that are faulty due to a manufacturer’s defect. If the car carries an extended warranty, however, you may not enjoy such thorough coverage.

Extended warranties don’t always transfer from buyer to buyer. Of those that do, your failure to submit the proper paperwork upon purchasing the vehicle could prevent you from being able to take advantage of the savings an extended warranty offers should your vehicle require repairs. When an individual or dealership uses a vehicle’s extended warranty as a selling point, always double check that the warranty will transfer before agreeing to purchase the car.

Regardless of the type of used car you purchase, a factory warranty is the best type of warranty to have. Try to purchase a car with as few miles as possible. and ensure that the vehicle’s factory warranty is still in place before signing on the dotted line.

Christmas Shopping Survival Guide

Nov 10, 2010 Georgina Bourdeau

Christmas is thundering toward us like a steam engine fully stoked. Anxiety levels are starting to rise as each day is marked off the calendar. Being prepared both in mind and body can alleviate the Christmas jitters. Having a well thought-out plan can make shopping during the holidays uncomplicated and reduce post holiday credit card debt.

What can we do to prepare ourselves before we set out to shop for presents?

First we have to be in a certain frame of mind. Preparing your body and mind is the first step. Rushing from work to the overcrowded department stores is definitely out of the question. Make sure you are in a good place, spiritually and bodily. This requires a well-rounded meal so that your body is fueled up. A soothing bath or shower, meditation, yoga, anything that can contribute to a feeling of well-being, will start you off on the right foot.

What do we plan ahead of time?

Santa Claus has a list for a reason, and so should you. Each shopping excursion should be short and productive, so keep your list to no more than ten people or presents. Any more than that on one outing will wear you down and make the shopping a chore rather than an adventure. Always have a budget for each gift. This will diminish your credit card debt after Christmas, and will give you the best bang for your buck.

Balance your list of easy gifts to buy with those that may be more difficult. From the grandma that has everything to your nephew who just moved out of the house, write down gift ideas for each person on your list. It narrows the search for you and helps you combine gift searching in one department. This alleviates aimless wandering and impulse shopping.

When is the best time to do my Christmas Shopping?

Many large stores like Wal Mart have truly blessed the Christmas shopper by staying open all night during the Christmas season. The stores are like ghost towns compared to the daytime peak hours.

Christmas shopping can truly be painless and satisfying if you are prepared both in mind and body. You can survive the Christmas season both financially and mentally if you plan a list, stick to it and shop in the stores during their low traffic periods. Remember your survival guide to holiday shopping and embrace the Christmas spirit.

Black Friday 101: A Beginner's Guide

Nov 4, 2010 Michael Mashburn

Black Friday Sales - Michal Marcol

‘Twas the morning after Thanksgiving and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Except for mom, who woke up at 3am like a crazy person to go stand in line at Target, freezing her behind off for a chance to nab the latest and greatest new Tickle Me Elmo doll.

That same scene plays out year after year, all across the country. Black Friday marks the official start of the holiday shopping season and it can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. It all depends on how you prepare. Here are some helpful tricks to scoring some major savings on Black Friday sales.

Prepare Early

Running blindfolded into a crowded store with no idea what you’re even looking for is definitely not something you want to be doing on Black Friday. Preparation is key. During the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, take some extra time to ensure you get the best Black Friday deals by scoping out the store you plan to visit on that crazy day. Pay attention to the layout and what departments are where. You don’t want to be figuring this out in all the madness. Also, take note of any “shortcut” paths that will help you avoid the main drag, as it will be quite difficult to navigate come Black Friday.

Another great way to prepare for Black Friday is to look into whether or not your store offers a credit card. While certainly not for everyone, a credit card can be a great way to maximize your savings on Black Friday sales because most places will let you pay off your balance the same day you shop. So not only will you be scoring major savings with the already-low Black Friday deals, you will also be packing on even more discounts by using your store’s credit card. If credit is not your thing, look into whether or not your store offers a check card. In many cases, these cards act just like a debit card but allow you to take advantage of rewards similar to those of the store’s credit card.

Know Before you Go

Peeking at gifts before Christmas is usually frowned upon, but not on Black Friday! In order to make the best of Black Friday deals, peeking ahead is totally acceptable. During the week of Thanksgiving, do a little browsing on your favorite store’s website. Most places make their Black Friday deals available to the public on the Wednesday before, so be sure to check them out. Many places will even have better deals that are online-only, so be sure to watch for those. Another great tool is that old-fashioned paper copy of the ad. These are distributed via your local newspaper on Thanksgiving Day and can also be found anywhere that sells the paper. But be quick! Black Friday ads usually go very fast.

Another great tip is to visit your store the Wednesday before Black Friday to scope things out. It may sound a little stalker-ish, but you can actually get some useful information by doing so. Since most places are closed on Thanksgiving, their employees will be setting up the big-ticket items ahead of time so they are all ready to go when the doors open on Friday. For bigger items, like TVs and computers, pay attention to areas that you wouldn’t normally expect to find these types of items. For example, Target rearranges its clothing departments to make room for bigger items that are usually stacked on pallets so the customers can just grab what they want and go. Pay attention to where employees are setting up these types of displays. Most likely, they will be the hot items come Friday morning.

Ready…Set…Go!

Before you know it, Friday morning will have arrived. Time to pull yourself out of the food coma from last night’s feast and get moving! Make sure to give yourself plenty of time by arriving early and claiming your spot in line. Folding chairs and warm beverages aren’t bad ideas either. Depending on where you go, the store may hand out maps of where the big-ticket items are located. This map will be your new best friend. As the doors finally open and people begin to rush in like mad men, remember to be focused but polite. No deal is worth compromising your integrity and embarrassing yourself.

As you move around the store scoring deal after deal, be sure to keep an eye out for other deals that were not advertised. Many places will offer substitutes once they sell out of the original sale item. Also, remember that even though you may not have snagged that fancy flat screen TV, you now have that much more extra money to spend on other fantastic deals.

Black Friday can turn you into a Grinch pretty quickly if you are not prepared. Luckily, a little planning is all it takes to make Black Friday one of the most fun and enjoyable shopping experience you will have.

Black Friday Survival Guide

Nov 2, 2010 Anna Smith

Save Money by Shopping on Black Friday - Image by Steven Depolo

The day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday, is one of the best known traditions in American shopping history. The day received its ominous moniker as a nickname from shop owners as being the first day their accounting books moved out of the red and started showing a profit. Stores noticed the trend of families beginning their Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving and began offering sales, incentives, and early openings to cater to this habit. Today the event resembles a marathon race that occasionally involves high-stakes boxing, and should be treated with the same preparation, dedication, and cool thinking as any other competitive sport.

Plan the Attack Early: Black Friday Ads

Serious shoppers will want to make a plan of attack the night before. Take half an hour Thanksgiving morning, while the turkey is still simmering and the marshmallows are caramelizing, and hit the local gas station for a paper. This is usually filled with a gold mine of Black Friday ads.

Stores will advertise their opening times at the front of their ads. These can be used to create an itinerary. If Target opens at 4am and Best Buy opens at 5am, then with some fast (but safe) driving and even faster walking, dedicated shoppers can get the door-busting deals at both stores. Midnight openings are also increasing in popularity and allow shoppers to feed the frenzy without ever having to go to bed.

Make a list of which items should be purchased from each store. Once the Black Friday rush has begun, there will be little time for thinking or deliberating. Lines tend to form around popular stores hours before doors are scheduled to open. Once the lights flicker to life and the automatic glass slides back, all bets are off as shoppers speed-walk, trot, then run to the discounted items that have pulled them out of bed before the crack of dawn. To ensure total sale success:

• Head straight toward the item(s) desired as soon as the doors open and grab it
• Do not be embarrassed to run - everyone else will already be doing it
• Get in line immediately - the faster checkout is completed, the sooner the next store may be shopped!
• Shop in a group - assign each family member a different item to grab and meet back at the registers
• Scout ahead - the truly dedicated will want to visit stores that are open a few days in advance to locate where items are on the shelves

Visit Price Matching Stores

Electronics is the most popular category in which to shop during Day After Thanksgiving sales. Televisions, gaming systems, MP3 players, and more often receive discounts of up to 50%. Cost conscious parents can fulfill their game-loving teen's addiction to digitally rendered combat while completing their den's entertainment system upgrade without breaking the bank.

The lines at most electronics stores on Black Friday morning are legendary and frequently involve hour long waits to enter the store and two hour long waits to check out. Many of these stores receive limited shipments of popular items and can sell out of them before the sun rises. They utilize the low supply and high demand concept that guarantees a big sales volume without significantly denting the remainder of their Christmas inventory.

To avoid long lines and potential disappointment, find out which stores carry similar items and guarantee a price match policy. Wal-Mart and K-mart frequently advertise that their prices can beat or match the competition's when presented with a valid Black Friday ad. Bring the ad into the store and make sure that it specifically lists the price of the item in question. As long as the store has the item and the price cannot be disputed, they are bound to honor it.

Pack Power Replenishing Supplies

Stay hydrated! Put several bottles of water in the car and a few cereal bars to snack on. Attempting to visit a fast-food drive-in during Black Friday is a beginner's mistake that can easily be avoided. Lines at these venues are long and only take away from time that could be spent shopping savvy.

Many stores only offer their door-busting deals until the clocks strikes noon, at which time the minivan becomes a pumpkin and prices return to "as marked". Eat last, when there is ample time to wait in line, enjoy the meal, and bask in the money saved during the morning. Remember, a big meal was consumed the day before, so use this time as an opportunity to earn back the calories.

Save Clothing Sales for Last

Clothing stores don't want to miss out on the excitement and typically carry a special Black Friday deal of their own. These items tend to last throughout the morning, however, and can be visited as the last stop on the tour of the greatest shopping day of the year. Dress in layers so that clothing can be tried on easily in the aisles, when appropriate, to avoid lines in the fitting rooms.

Malls offer the ideal location to indulge in clothing shopping sales. Multiple stores can be visited without having to move the car in the parking lot and guarantee that every family member receives the perfect gift on Christmas morning. Most malls also have food courts which provide chairs, tables, an orange julius, and a cinnamon bun to create the perfect location to relive the triumphs and heartaches of a productive and exhausting morning.

With a little planning, some light stretching of the leg muscles, and determination, Black Friday can be a shopping success. Many fans of this sport can purchase an entire Christmas list in seven hours for half of the cost on any other day of the year. Make it a goal to not just survive these sales waters, but to dominate them and return home from the store as the family's Most Valuable Shopper.
